This question is incomplete. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read this example: instead of being given a slap on the wrist, teenagers who engage in reckless driving should be required to attend defensive-driving courses and view images and videos of car accidents.
This is an example of which type of claim?
A. Claim of value
B. Claim of definition
C. Claim of policy
D. Claim of cause and effect
Answer:
The type of claim found in the passage is:
C. Claim of policy
.
Explanation:
<u>A claim of policy argues that certain conditions should or should not exist, proposing or even demanding that solutions or policies are established. In other words, a person thinks of a situation as bad. Because of that opinion, they want the situation to change. Thus, they simply claim the situation should be changed and offer their own opinion of its being bad as a justification.</u> An example would be, "Brazilian funk music is bad. It should be banned." If you ask why, this person will most likely be incapable of giving you a real answer based on facts and statistics. It is just their opinion.
<u>That is what we have in the passage we are analyzing here. A person thinks that, at this moment, teenagers who drive recklessly are just being given a slap on the wrist. That is this person's opinion. Based on that, he/she wants a policy to be made in order to punish teenagers more strictly.</u>
